Now Israel has learnt. In early June, Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu came with an official visit to Russia. Just a month and a half before he traveled to the Russian Federation on a working visit.
During all this time in Israel, they spoke about warming in the Russian-Israeli relations, what is especially important for Israel in the international arena and the UN in particular. In the case of development of bilateral cooperation, Israel would secure the support of Russia in the UN Security Council and Russia would irritate the United States – generally, everybody would be satisfied.
So, at the end of the visit the important agreements in the field of trade and economic cooperation, cultural and humanitarian ties are signed, Russia agrees to pay pensions to its former citizens, who now live in Israel, Netanyahu states that Moscow feels like home - perfect harmony.
But! It does not take more than two weeks from the end of the Israeli leader's visit to Russia, as the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that he did not think to support Israel in the UN. Like, “these are apples and oranges”. And no one cares about the signed declarations and agreements. Russia has changed its mind and that's it. If Israel were not as strong as it is, maybe little green men would appear in the Golan.
Still Russia proves at the highest diplomatic level once again that its official statements do not mean anything.
